KOMMENTARE ZUM SPRACHKONTEXT: Gwich’in has been taught in the school at Old Crow since the early 1970s, and in 1996 Old Crow students launched a web site, “Old Crow: Land of the Vuntut Gwich’in.”
Rechtschreibung: Gwich’in has had a written literature since the 1870s, when Archdeacon Robert McDonald translated the entire Bible (1886), the Book of Common Prayer, and a hymnal into a variety of Eastern Gwich’in he called Tukudh. Middle-aged and older speakers still use McDonald’s Bible, but younger speakers find its orthography and style difficult. Modern writing systems have been developed both in in Alaska (in the 1960s by Richard Mueller) and in Canada (in the mid 1970s by the Yukon Native Language Centre), and there are many publications in both, including story collections and linguistic material.
